Using "Discotheque" as the lead single was also a mistake. And I like that song, but it wasn't representative of the tone on the rest of the album, and it especially didn't suggest how heavy or dark the music could get.

You're saying we have to find the phone before we can use the Find My iPhone function? What a rip-off!

Do kids still use that word, "cool?"
